Selecting Fastest Server

Question

I've been trying to determine if there is a way to pick the fastest server every time I launch Torguard LT or Torguard Visc. Currently, I do it manually by connecting, running a speed test, disconnecting...rinse repeat. Takes longer sometimes as the servers don't always connect quickly.

I would like to automate this and was wondering if any way to do this with either app.

On openwrt it could be done, fastest, pinging all servers and selecting the one with lowest latency. This is how a user gets best result based on ping. If you want to be more precious, you could make iperf to check it with more than 1 packet.

For me it is not really usefull option. Best server is always only the one which is closest. Performance can be reduced due to overload of some servers and for that no ping or algorithm is requiered on client side, offer simply status file with pings from every your server to every other of your servers, and add ie. in % how much loaded it is. Client does not need then to run any scripts or test, results are deliver and they are very precious.

I am just curious about algorithm, do you speak about client or server solution or even backend solution?
